Even teams as good as the defending world champion Philadelphia Eagles have holes.
Sure, after blasting the Chiefs 40-6 (those last two touchdowns didn’t happen) in the Super Bowl, the Eagles have lost a number of key contributors in free agency. There appear to be capable replacements in-house, although the team is projecting for some of them.
It is not a guarantee Jalyx Hunt adequately replaces Josh Sweat, nor Kelee Ringo replaces Darius Slay, nor Sydney Brown replaces CJGJ, nor Moro Ojomo replaces Milton Williams, nor Tyler Steen replaces Mekhi Becton. But even if they do, the departures we’ve seen over the last month have left the Birds short on depth at some key spots, depth the team will look to acquire starting with next Thursday night’s first round of the NFL Draft.
